You can maintain the value of a variable  within a
session (ie till the user logs out of your web
application ), which can be maintained between pages.
Session state can be memory based or could be in a
database.As such, 'global variables' are not supported
in ASP.Net.

There is a project sln at http://www.developa.com/webapplication123.zip

It shows how to use ascx and custom controls.

And if you think about it, using the methods therein you could feasibly use one
of these controls to hold all your global  variables accessing them at will.

Or just use a session variable

Session["hello"] = object.

This .net thing also supports global  static variables in the global.asax
file. You can do this by...


--- global.asax ---
<%@ application  Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="TestVBNet.Global"
Classname="CommerceApplication" %>
<Script Language="C#" runat=server>
public static string strPublicString = "yo yo3";
</Script>

--- pagethatwillusetheglobalstaticvariabe.aspx ---
< %@Import <mailto:%@Import> Namespace="System"%>
<%@ page  Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT runat=server>

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Response.Write(CommerceApplication.strPublicString)
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<body>
<form id=frmX runat=server></form>
</body>
</HTML>


You can access the variable  by <ClassName>.<VariableName> -- where
<ClassName> is the value of the Classname attribute in the Application tag
in global.asax. You can also modify that variable - but i think it'll only
be initialized once when the application loads.

Why not just use an Application variable. You can access it
from all your pages. Just declare  it in your Application_OnStart
event: Application["ImportantMessage"] = "Whoopee!" and
use it wherever you choose.

The original question said they didn't want to use sessions ! and that the vars
were static

Declare a Public Shared Variable in the Global.asax file.

You can access it via Global.YourSharedMember
